Design Tokens

Learn about design tokens and how to use them
Design TokensDefining Tokens

Overview

Tokens are the single source of truth for your app's visual style, representing reusable design decisions like colors, spacing, and typography.

You'll learn how to define and organize your own color tokens, structure color scales from 50 to 950, and understand when to extend Chakra's defaults versus starting from scratch.

Key Takeaways

Tokens define reusable, named values for colors, spacing, and typography that ensure consistency across your entire app.

Color tokens are defined as scales (50 → 950)

Each scale moves from lighter to darker shades, helping you create visual hierarchy and brand depth.

You can merge or start from scratch

Extend Chakra's defaultBaseConfig for a quick setup, or define every token yourself for total design control.
